Liton Das played a measured knock of unbeaten 42 off 36 deliveries while batting with cramps to guide Bangladesh to a five-wicket win over New Zealand in the first T20I in Napier today.
The right-handed opening batter anchored the chase and had good support from Sheikh Mahedi, who remained not out on 19 off 16 deliveries, as Bangladesh chased down 134 in 18.4 overs with five wickets in hand.
The victory in Bangladesh's first over the Kiwis in New Zealand, and comes at a venue where Bangladesh had won their first ODI against the same opposition on their shores last week.
Liton and Mahedi forged the unbroken partnership of 40 runs after Bangladesh had wobbled, losing five wickets for 97 runs.
